So you’re doing a story on the plight of professional porn stars, who are finding it difficult to earn a decent living in the Internet age. What’s the one quote you would kill your fluffer to get?

“It’s pretty bad,” says Ms Mayhem, who has 400 XXX American film credits to her name. “A lot of us are screwed.”

Yeah, that’s the one.

Slow day, unless you want to argue whether the Pentagon shooter was a deranged wingnut or a deranged moonbat. So, in anticipation of Sunday’s Big Event Which Has Nothing To Do With Sport, we’ll note that J.D. Hayworth is mocking John McCain for enjoying Avatar too much. Or something like that.

Apparently an earlier version of this ad neglected to paint Psychogeezer’s face entirely blue, providing an excuse for McCain’s campaign manager to call it “insulting to Native Americans”. Now it’s just insulting to deranged LARPers.

Just because you lost the Super Bowl is no reason to get all pissy about it:

Fed up and fired up, an increasing number of Indiana residents who have lost confidence in the government are going to extreme measures to claim they are “sovereign citizens.”

By doing so, residents contend that they no longer have to pay taxes, claiming their homes as embassies and using identification cards that show them as diplomats…

“It gives me diplomatic immunity,” [Donald] Moore said, referring to the ID card. “The way I understand it, the federal government is incorporated, and all the states are incorporated. This takes me out of the corporation.”

Fools. Everyone knows that in America the only way to escape paying taxes is to be filthy rich.
